Recent Progress on Ricci Solitons

Abstract

Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Einstein metrics. They are also special solutions to Hamilton's Ricci flow and play important roles in the singularity study of the Ricci flow. In this paper, we survey some of the recent progress on Ricci solitons.
